stomach of the late Lucy Heidelmeyer, of
Chicago. caused the Grand Jury to indict
Lorenz Krug for the murder of his step
daughter.
Two of the Rock Island train express
robbers in court. A death like silence
prevailed when the Judge, taking the ver-
dict, read aloud the words pronouncing
Watt and Schwartz guilty Of murder, and
sentencing them to imprisonment in the
penitentiary for life. The verdict was re-
ceived by the prisoners without look or
action of surprise. They were quietly
taken to their cells, and tomorrow their
attorneys will enter motion for q new
trial. The motion will, doubtless, be over
ruled. Then notice will be given of an
appeal and, in all probability, stay of
proceedings and hearing in the upper
courts will follow.

After trial lasting thirty days. Schwartz
and Watt have been declared by jury of
twelve good men and true guilty of the
murder of Kellogg Nichols, and their
punishment fixed at imprisonment for life
in the penitentiary When the jury re-
tired, on Tuesday afternoon, it was the
general opinion that there would be dis
agreement. After seclusion of little
more than five hours word was sent to
Judge Dibell that they had reached a con-
clusion. A few minutes afterward they
filed into court. When Judge Dibell said:
Gentlemen Of the jury, have you agreed
upon verdict?" Z. H. Robinson, the
Oldest juror on the panel, arose and handed
the verdict 10 the Sheriff, who passed it up
to the court. Judge Dibell scanned it, and
then read it: "We, the jury, find Newton
Watt guilty Of the murder Of Kellogg
Nichols in the manner and form as charged
in the indictment, and fix his penalty at
imprisonment in the penitentiary for the
term OF his natural life." The verdict as
to Schwartz was then read. 1t finds him
also guilty in the manner and form
charged, and fixes his penalty at imprison-
ment in the penitentia,y for bis natural
life. Each juror then in turn ratified the
verdict.
There was q death-like silence in the
courtroom. Watt was sitting near his
brother, with his arms resting on the table,
still gazing steadily at the jury. Schwartz
sat near his father with his hands clasped
across his breast, gazing away from the
jury, seemingly insensible to their presence
and veredict. Neither Of the men mani
tested the slightest emotion. Watt talked
with his brother and smiled when spoken to
BY his sttorney. Schwartz was more serious
when his counsel approached him, but .
slight, reluctant smile gathered on his
countenance. The Court thanked the jury
for the attention during the trial and dis
missed them.

Schwarts and Watt were convicted, occurred

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is - foe
to good nature.
The bnman digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and
wonderful things in existence 1t is
easily put cut OF order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late

other things which ought not TO be,
have made the American people a

done wonderful work in reforming
this cad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
